Subject: Running VirtualBox Crashes Other Apps

Starting Oracle's VirtualBox has started to crash other apps, in particular Thunderbird, Firefox, and Libreoffice; but not the console. Firefox and Thunderbird just stop; Libreoffice attempts to restore files being worked on (but it failed to restore about 2 hours' worth of work).

Has anyone seen anything like this? Any ideas on how to prevent it? Any experience with other virtual environments?

Very good point:
$ rpm -q VirtualBox
VirtualBox-7.0.6-1.fc37.x86_64
